JOHN CROCKETT, RB, North Dakota State

Basics: From Minneapolis. Redshirted in 2011, split time with 1,000-yard rusher Sam Ojuri in 2012 and ’13 before setting school records for carries (368) and yards (1,994) in ’14. Gained 1,038 in ’12 and 1,277 in ’13 as Bison won FCS national title each of his three seasons. Made 30 of his 43 receptions last season. Career-long 80-yard run Aug. 30 helped Bison win at Iowa State, 34-14. High-school high jumper at Totino-grace with personal best of 6-6. Worst injury was broken wrist in 2012 off-season.

Measurables: 6-0, 218, 4.57. Vertical jump of 40 (fourth best among RBS at the combine), broad jump of 10-5, 15 reps on the bench and Wonderlic of 15. Arms measured 31, hands were 9¾.

Crockett: “My style is to kind of do it all. Catch out of the backfield, that’s one of my strongest suits. Run inside, run outside and block. I’m not afraid of sticking my nose in there. We ran a pro-style offense with the power scheme and the zone scheme. I would say my (favorite play) was power. It’s a grown-man play. You go right down the ‘A’ gap and see what happens.”

AFC scout: “He’s intriguing. He could sneak into the third, fourth round. He’s big, runs tough, can catch out of the backfield, good blocker.”

NFC scout: “Watch all the times where the hole almost closes and he runs through an arm tackle. He’s got the big thighs and hips. You see that low-body power. I’m not going to say he has a burst of quickness because he really doesn’t. I wonder if he can make a team just because his speed will so limit him.”

NFC scout: “Very productive. You just wonder if he has the lateral explosion to create space when he needs to.”
